Low Serum Magnesium Linked with Atrial Fibrillation

By Lynn HayeFirst published Nov. 2013. Last updated: January 19, 2019

Important findings from the Framingham Offspring Study link low levels of serum magnesium with an increased risk of developing A-Fib.

Coincidentally, they did not find a link between two other electrolytes, serum potassium or serum calcium, and A-Fib.

A variety of sources suggest that many people do not get the RDA for magnesium which is 420/mg day for males and 320/mg day for females.

LYNN HAYE, Ph.D. is a clinical psychologist and former A-Fib patient. She studies and writes about current trends in the treatment and diagnosis of atrial fibrillation and has a special interest in women’s health issues. Dr. Haye and her family live in Orange County, CA.
